Fixcontrol introduces itself

A passion for orienteering and movement has always been part of the founders' lives. Fixcontrol develops and sells an intuitive timing system for orienteering and similar applications.

Our motivation and vision

Keep moving – and keep thinking.

Besides classic orienteering, the flexible timing system can easily be used for lessons in various subjects, for tourism applications and for events.

Digital tools, movement and brainwork make an ideal combination.

Fixcontrol wants to give the public

  • a new innovative attraction for every season

  • an incentive for guests and locals to get moving

  • interesting facts about the area, brought to life

and to give those in charge

  • a simple and sustainable infrastructure

  • intuitive editing and updating of information content

  • everything from a single source

Fixcontrol wants to give schools a simple, exciting introduction to “finding your way” – across subjects:

  • in classic orienteering

  • in PE lessons

  • in maths lessons

  • in language lessons

Because the system is so simple to use, it is easy to organise orienteering and similar activities and build them into everyday school life.

Adding digital tools also makes “learning on the move” possible.
